Was at Japan Tokyo again on April 2012. Barely two months since I visited Hokkaido/ tokyo during the Chinese New Year. This time however, was OFFICIAL :) and alone :(
I missed the Franchise show that was held at Tokyo earlier and therefore determined to attend the Wine & Gourmet Exhibition held in the famous Tokyo Big sight.
Armed with these.........
I finally reached Tokyo Big Sight in about an hour or so.... with a very empty stomach :p
It was not very packed when I reached, thou in the afternoon it's another story.
Registration was swift and orderly.
Food Demo in process.
Time to sample some good food.
As they were promoting their ingredients/spices/etc,
the portion was just nice and they encourage you to sample more.
Now you know why I arrived with an empty stomach..haha.
Some of the food items was for display only but they still have
many varieties to sample. I got more than I can bargain for :)
As photography was not allowed in the exhibit hall, there were not many pictures taken ( another
reason being I was quite occupied, with eating and drinking ( tea, wine, sake, you named it :) Anyway I spent 2 whole days visiting the show and had seen and learned alot, despite my Japanese is limited to arigato and kawaii :) Most likely I will returned again next year.
The last two days of my stay was spent shopping at......
and
Ueno Park Cherry Blossom Viewing
Ueno Park (上野公園, Ueno Kōen) is a large public park next to Ueno Station in central Tokyo. The park grounds were originally part of Kaneiji
Temple, which used to be one of the city's largest and wealthiest temples and a family temple of the ruling
Tokugawa clan during the Edo Period.
Ueno Park is one of Tokyo's most popular and lively cherry blossom spots with more than 1000 cherry trees lining its central pathway. The cherry
blossoms are usually in bloom during late March and early April and attract
large numbers of hanami (cherry blossom
viewing) parties.
Sunset finally.
And it's time to catch my flight home....on a A380 :)
SAYONARA !!!

Souvenirs
It was love at first sight when i saw the tea glass on the left in ...
hmmm.. somewhere in Turkey ( maybe Antalya or Cappadocia )
Cannot recall how much it cost in Lira though.
Bought the blue Turtle with my travel mates also. It signifies
a family from what you see on the turtle back, 3 little cuties.
All of us three families bought it as a souvenir : )
Turquoise is the official birth stones for the month of December and as such
I was searching high and low for the beautiful stone when i was in Turkey.
According to the sales person, the turquoise will turn from blue to
green after a number of years.
Found in veins sandwiched in between layers of mother rock, the turquoise can show some of the influence of the mother rock in its matrix or veining. The matrix colors range from blue to golden brown to black and sometimes with golden flecks (sometimes called “fools gold” or iron pyrite), which is considered very desirable by some
The average price of these turquoise rings range from USD $100 +
to $200 over, some of which is not shown here. All in all I spent
about USD$500. Whether or not it is worth it is up to individual.
As long as they brings me good luck.... : )
